About myself HI! I’m Joseph! I am studying Nursing-Bachelor of Health Care. I decided to go to Japan for exchange because I really love Japan and its culture. I had the chance to study in Tohoku Fukushi University from April to July 2018. I was very happy because it was a dream come true for me to come to Japan, and even more, I have not thought that I will be able to live there. But living there was not easy for me, and felt like everything was very complicated. I think it applies to everyone who comes to a stranger land, even though you feel like you know the culture very well as you have read books, you will be still be culture shocked. Thanks to the help of the staffs in the International centre who had helped me a lot and guided me throughout the exchange. Due to my experience, it motivated me to make this guide so as to help future exchange students to be more prepared before coming to Japan. This guide is made for you, exchange student from Laurea University applied sciences going to Tohoku Fukushi University. I hope that this guide will be of help to you!
